What is an elitist? Demonstrating a superior attitude or behavior associated with an elite. – Oxford Dictionary
Am I an elitist?
I think a better word to describe me is an achiever, a reality creator, a proactive human, a doer, a non-accepter of mediocrity, a person with gumption, a fighter, a never-settle-for-less type human being, a person who believes they are in control for a majority of their destiny, and a person that strives to elevate their lives constantly.
If this is what classifies me as an elitist, then okay, I accept the title. One thing I will not allow, though, is I won’t allow myself to become a victim and refuse to better my life situation because the world told me, a black female, I’m not supposed to do “better” in life than someone else.
I create my situation.
Ultimately, we are the creators of our life situations. Our potential is limitless, but we often underappreciate this little golden nugget of truth.
When I’m down, I choose to go up. When I fail, I choose to learn. When I’m overly emotional, I check myself back into a balanced state. When I’m distracted, I find my way back to the train tracks. When I’m angry, I try to remember the lessons I’ve learned. When I make a mistake, I don’t take too long to own up to it. When I can help someone, I usually say yes. When I’m feeling codependent or dependent on someone else, I remind myself of my stoic values.
Life is all about checks and balances; we must vigorously fight to maintain the process, or we will fly off the deep end.
Staying humble
I’m far from perfect. I make mistakes all the time, but I’m committed. Committed never to cease my personal development because that’s the path I’ve chosen for my life. If that makes me an elitist, I graciously accept the title, but that’s not how I picture myself.
Being a dedicated learner keeps my spirit, soul, and mind humble. I haven’t made it; I never will. Learning, personal growth, self-development, and the implementation of new wisdom will be my life-long journey.
I can’t accept titles from people who don’t put in full effort into the betterment of their lives, though. Guard your mind. Guard your identity. And remember who you are – despite what the world conveys to you.
Thanx for reading.
